@Daniel looks great! Btw. would it be possible to create a thread about this in the tutorial section? That way it would be easier for other users to find.

@Raaskot your always welcome nice to hear that this ideas was helpful

@marce said in Font Preview Size: @fde101 when making books you work with styles, is true. Not just with books, but with just about any kind of formatted content - newsletters, newspapers, etc. But when working with illustrated books, covers, children activity books, etc, Covers are a different sort of beast, and are more of an illustration project than a publishing project. Agreed that the regular use of styles for a cover is not as relevant as for the body of a publication. On the other hand, I am less inclined to agree that styles lose relevance when making "illustrated books" or "children's activity books" - there is ultimately still a level at which consistency throughout such books is perfectly relevant when creating a cohesive product and while such books are likely to contain a larger number of illustrative works (which individually might fall outside the normal use of styles) there are still elements that tie these things together for which the primary use of styles is still a good idea. font choosing is important. That is true for any kind of project in which text is involved if that project is going to be distributed. Need of design are wide and people works their way. The standardized professional way of work offenly is bypassed by creative people. True, and sometimes that is completely appropriate, other times it is bypassed to the detriment of the outcome or to the time taken to achieve it. Different projects and different situations call for different ways of working and different sets of tools. As I said in my other post: again, that is for a desktop publishing app; for a tool such as VectorStyler, it makes enough sense to offer it separately if people find such a thing useful

@Boldline said in Add sub-categories to the repeater presets menu area?: When I go up a level and into the presets folder, I see one repeater preset listed. I don't see the default repeater presets that come with VS or the several custom presets I already created. That file contains all the current repeater presets. The default presets file is in the VectorStyler bundle (similar location), but it was copied to this file. When I look in the Window>Presets Flyout menu, I see dedicated options for brush presets, document presets, an option to open a brush preset file. I was confused why the brush presets options are listed but not the other presets, but I assume that's because users are most commonly importing brush presets? Brush presets have a separate menu command because it is quite common to use these and there are typically many of them. Other presets could have a separate panel, but then it gets too crowded with menu commands. You can drag out a section from the Presets panel into a separate panel. When I go to the presets panel, repeater brushes are not listed at all. You mentioned it might be a bug, but I have an old windows laptop I had yet to upgrade to VS1.3, so it was still using VS1.2. On that laptop, the same presets panel also lacks a repeater preset folder I will fix this

@EricP A larger Length Limit value does not improve color sampling accuracy, @VectorStyler Image halftoning is the perfect solution.

@Li-Xiao i saw this too version 1.3.003 where shown two times

Just played a little around with this. Here a video how you can easily change the shape that is in the repeater

@VectorStyler i never did it this way and it was always working by using the intertwine tool directly see video here the only difference i see between this two ways is when using Styles -> Intertwine -> Create ... no dialog pops up i update to Version 1.3.004 and the Intertwine Tool is working now, dont know what was happen before

@marce Hyphenation appear to be working fine right now! Thanks a lot!

@marce Here goes the shape, the video shows how is different the simplify between inkscape and VS. Inkscape start to delete nodes, making smooth the shape until it become totally lost. VS reduce some nodes, but shape become more kind of square. https://icedrive.net/s/Gv6S2gw45ygCi6Wv6CXvBFShhuVP 0_1766886340876_Test Simplify.vstyler

@VectorStyler There are some unexpected behaviours showing up when trying to export like this, but I will make a separate bug report post and proof and concept for that later.

@Subpath Thanks! I dont see the rtf option, since the scroll went out of screen Im testing it, and it works great:

@VectorStyler Maybe I changed that setting accidentally, I will try to reproduce how I made that. Maybe when setting the new document or pasting the images. I will report later

@marce said in My intuition is not working with VectorStyler: Hi Eric! Thanks! Could you link some of them? You can find them (and many more) in the tutorial section of this forum : https://www.vectorstyler.com/forum/topic/5424/new-youtube-video-vectorstyler-repeater-basics/20

@Ingolf said in Angle 360 degree dial instead of a Slider?: Merry Christmas Merry Christmas

@Martin-K said in Tibetan fonts are displayed as squares only.: Also, it seems to me that Vectorstyler is not 100% OS X native - is this true? It is 100% OSX native, but not all OSX features are used. Can you send me a file with that Tibetan text? Thanks!

Playing devil's advocate a little here - what is the next logical step by the user after they click "styles>repeater>create repeater" ? You see the repeater activate, but you are unable to edit the repeater in any way and the odds are, the repeater result would need some adjustments

@marce said in Lag when using a text frame linked to multiple other text frames: @Boldline Hi! I made a video. But someone sent me a whatsap and it become recorded, and must delete from the post. Haha, sorry. Even that, the files i made are pretty standard. The archive that lags are text frame with the filler text. Im attaching here. 0_1765816294189_Probando multiple artboards.vstyler There will be improvements for this in the next build

@VectorStyler said in Erratic halftone editor in 1.3.002: Yes, and this this consistent with double clicking on other tool icons. I was thinking the same behaviour as the shape effect tools. Double clicking on tool icon while a shape with effect is selected opens (or puts forward) the shape effect panel, allowing user to change the parameters. With halftone, the appearance panel could be put forward, allowing user to change halftone parameters of already created effect. The issue is with already created halftone, the user may think the dialog opened by double clicking may be used to change settings (and it does in preview), but then clicking ok undoes the changes, which is confusing.

@VectorStyler I used brushes since is what I see it works in other programs. I will try the strokes
